Today, we created a Google doc for the Metacognitive Reflection and turned it into the dropbox. This edit your is so that you can have all of your responses in ONE place.

Today was a “shut up and work” day on your foil flip doll. You have a printed copy of the instructions, I’ve read them to you verbally, I have showed you multiple examples, and I write everything down on the blog as well.

If you turn this in before 2/7, you can earn extra credit.

Foil Flip Doll

  • What did you do?
  • What was the purpose behind doing it?
  • How are Emilia and Desdemona literary foils? What is the purpose of this relationship? Find a quote that shows the difference between the two.
  • How are Roderigo and Iago literary foils? What is the purpose of this relationship? Find a quote that shows the difference between the two.
  • Do you think that the protagonist and antagonist (like Othello and Iago) can be literary foils, or does that relationship not count because it’s too obvious?

Ms. Miller went over the Act 4 and 5 reading guide with you guys, and we took our quiz. The password is peach.

After the quiz, I went over the instructions for the Othello Project. A few notes:

  • There are four elements that I will be specifically teaching.
  • We will do all of the projects on paper, but we will be doing the metacognitive parts on the computer. That is what you will turn in to the dropbox in Blackboard.
  • This will be due on February 14th because I WUV YOU GUYS SO MUCH, but if you turn it all in early, you can get some extra credit.
  • I create written instructions and examples of everything, so yes – I HAVE DONE ALL OF THE PROJECTS, TOO. I do all of the work so that I know much time it should approximately take for you.
  • A lesson that I learned: When I wrote my metacognitive part for the pie chart, I did it over Hamlet. It was really hard. The reason is it was so hard is that I haven’t read Hamlet in about twenty years.  I know the basics, but not enough to feel comfortable discussing a pie chart of guilt. IF YOU DON’T KNOW THE STORY OF OTHELLO THIS IS GOING TO BE REALLY HARD FOR YOU. If you have just been copying answers from people and getting by because I am such an awesome teacher (lol!), you may struggle with the metacognitive elements.
